The team was getting bulldozed.. Is it possible he was playing to preserve himself? He was watching his DL get rolled..

I have been saying that this entire time... You put it almost exactly how i did...

He has a bad game im not trying to make excuse's for him. But it seems like everybody from ESPN to regular monday morning quarterback is pinning the loss on him and only him. Like NDs team played good enough to win if it wasnt for that damn Te'O shitting his pants all game...

News flash the entire team (SPECIFICALLY THE DEFENSIVE LINE) got tossed around like rag dolls all night long. If anyones to blame its them. Because they let Bamas oline push into the 2nd level and pretty much let them dictate the game all night.

And Te"O weights about 255... On Average Bamas Oline weighs 315 thats 60lbs they got on him... I dont care how good you are you aint shedding a block from a guy 60 lbs heavier then you that got his manchild hands around you...

The dline is suppose to take up those blocks so Te'O can do what he does.... But he never had a chance...

However the 3-4 times he did get by, Lacy did make him look silly... But i attribute that to Bama getting in his head, and he got flustered and wasnt thinking straight and made a whole bunch of mental errors. That happens to everybody tho, even some of the greats of the game got flustered sometimes. As he gets older he'll be able to handle those situations better and keep a clear head.
